I see that two farmers in the US have been sentenced for tampering with rain gauges.
Why would they do this, you might ask?
The Colorado ranchers were sentenced to pay $6.6m after they damaged rain gauges in an effort to get paid for a worsening drought. The 72- and 62-year-olds also received short prison sentences of two and six months, respectively.
